    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    rant that is going to worsen my health: i think pwme need to be part of the equation. scientists figured out long ago about hiv/aids and vaccines and antiretroviral doses. populations get studied in vaccine development and implementation. m.e. needs to be studied (e.g. by post-vaccination...

    Does existing science sufficiently demonstrate that exertion is the correct focus concept?

    i am not in any shape to guarantee responses, but i have written notes for many years, and would be interested in your comments and i will try to make some semblance of sense: 1. believe it or not, i am not convinced that we are at a point where we can make a pathognomon[-ish] that is...

    Anyone get root canal (either before or after ME onset)?

    What are some factors one might consider / look up / ask doctor about for a bedridden-except-bathroom pwme in deciding whether to get a root canal? I have heard that they can maybe increase infections. Or maybe have formaldehyde. Or maybe make a tooth crack. Or some stuff about cavitations...

    The Norwegian ME Association's report on severe ME

    there are some who still do not know about this report and that is why i logged in to post this post. i do not want this report to go unnoticed or forgotten! wouldn't it be great in every mp and congressman/senator's physical and email mailbox everywhere, with all of the graphics, in color...

    A poll on fatigue and eating

    the colonoscopy/gastroscopy prep i did in early 2000s made my bowels quiescent for the first time in 20-30 years. it also reduced mold [a bunch of symptoms] / allergy symptoms significantly. it also reduced fatigue significantly. this lasted for a few days. the effect size was large. never...

    A poll on fatigue and eating

    i did not answer the poll, because i am too conservative to claim significantly for some time consistently, but eating DEFINITELY frequently immediately improves malaise and most likely fatigue in my case. random facts: i eat frequently. [when executive dysfunction does not prevent that.]...

    Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia: A Hidden Factor in the Pathogenesis of Human Disease, JA Morris (2017)

    p.s. in my own case i have a long term refractory nasopharyngeal colonization of staph aureus. it was made worse by, and detected by, a nasopharyngeal swab [a kind with hooks]. this paper if it has any relevance to anything might suggest some pwme might have staph someplace. i was also...

    Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia: A Hidden Factor in the Pathogenesis of Human Disease, JA Morris (2017)

    idk where to post this, and idk what value it has. it has been claimed in an online comment to be relevant to [1] cytokine storm on https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-why-are-some-people-experiencing-long-term-fatigue-141405 "A number of strains produce pyrogenic toxins which are the...

    Article Independent: ‘As lockdown eases, those of us with chronic illnesses must not be left behind’ June 2020

    > Just IMO but I don't feel that the press has 'balanced' those years of gaslighting yet. Time for more and better articles on ME. i agree with @Snowdrop. i don't think allowing the event that pwme are still experiencing to pass quietly into unread and uncurated history will do pwme, today's...

    Symptoms of Covid-19

    i ran across that also, but i don't know what country it was attached to. this reminds me of one thing i found peculiar in medical texts ca. y2k. for example, "rarely, there will be a runny nose". (or a greek term meaning "runny nose".) what does this mean? i found that it could be...

    I'm a physiotherapist. Seeing the impact of Covid on survivors will haunt me forever

    good points. there are also those who need assistance with day to day life but cannot contribute as much as anyone else EVEN IF they are allowed to do it a bit differently. because their disease population is persecuted to the point of no science. and because they get sicker because they...

    Solve webinar: Navigating Public and Private Disability Insurance with ME/CFS

    i have never found webinars possible to attend. it is not within my health capacity. signing up, being organized, not having emergencies, being awake, not being too sick, dealing with technical issues, and many more things make it completely impossible. so webinars don't do it for me. if it...

    USA: News from Simmaron Research foundation

    let's switch that around. one desperate need in the m.e. population is knowing the effect of covid on existing pwme. e.g. susceptibility to covid, course of covid, worsening of m.e. recovery time, effect on and of m.e. comorbidities. sleep. they should have pwme and controls willing to...

    Covid-19 - Psychological research and treatment

    tl;dr: this is a familiar danger sign. the hazard to society message is not thickly veiled. i only pick this article because it is there. i could have picked nearly anything. thousands of articles. it is normal to laugh at moronicity, but i think it is also needed to see it as an attack...
